A/N: Alright, I will post chapter 19 ahead of schedule if one of the reviewers makes me laugh. I had a long day. If not, then I will just post it when I was originally.

Chapter 18

Sasuke was in a very good mood. Sakura and Lee were engaged and at home with baby Yuki. Naruto was playing with Hiruzen. Karin had given him a break and disappeared for a small holiday. His proposal to buy out Jinchuriki was finished... And his parents plane was landing this afternoon. Naruto was still oblivious.

They had a little more than a week until Hiruzen's party and on his birthday Sasuke and Naruto would treat him to a day at the park.

"Naruto, there is a restaurant opening tonight, I've been offered a table, would you care to join me?" Sasuke asked concealing his true intentions very well.

"We are going to get lazy if we keep going out..." Naruto answered.

"Hm, we will be lazy the day I hire a personal chef. But irregardless, would you like to go?" Sasuke asked once more,

"Sure."

Sasuke smiled and left the room with his cell phone. He hadn't been lying. There really was a grand opening and he was offered a table with Itachi and they were reserving the table for 7. Sasuke confirmed the reservation for 6:30 knowing Hiruzen wouldn't last very long if they booked it for later and his mother would prefer her grandson to be in a happy mood and his father would agree.

Sasuke emailed the proposal along with the presentation to himself and his father and would bring the papers along with him tonight for extra convincing. He placed all of it in Hiruzen's diaper bag, which doubled as a messenger bag when he was being lazy. He also put a diamond bracelet in the bag to give to his mother.

Sasuke took his time picking out his and Naruto's outfits for later making sure they subtly complimented one another and Hiruzen would be the final touch.

Sasuke would wear a formal suit with a burnt orange tie and pocket square, to match Naruto's burnt orange cashmere sweater and his brown blazer would compliment Hiruzen's brown dress shirt and he had a burnt orange tie... Sasuke despised the fact it was winter and they'd be in fall fashion... But he needed the colors to tie to one another... So his parents would see they go together. Trick of the eye. And Sasuke was confident it would work, because its what he did for Itachi and Kisame when they got together.

When the clock stuck 5 they all showered and bathed...Sasuke tried his hardest to sneak in the shower with Naruto and got batted out. Naruto shaved at Sasuke's request and Sasuke took extra time to preen himself, Hiruzen and finally Naruto.

"Why are you doing my hair Teme?"

"In case they are taking photos and were in the background." He answered automatically.

All three of them looked immaculate and Hiruzen kept trying to tilt his bow tie to the side causing Sasuke to out it back in place repeatedly. The driver arrived and 6 and Sasuke did his absolute best to conceal his nerves. He really wanted his parents to like Naruto... I mean... How could you not? Naruto pointed things out to Hiruzen to keep the toddler distracted from his little Bow tie and they pulled up to the restaurant. All three of them exited the car and sure enough cameras were going off and Naruto silently thanked the bastard for the preening and tried to resist the urge not to make stupid facial expressions. They walked inside the restaurant and the hostess bowed her head and went to set their table up. Sasuke scanned the area noticing no one else from his party had arrived just yet... Thank god.

Itachi and Kisame arrived next and Hiruzen squirmed out of Naruto's arms and haphazardly walked to his uncle who promptly picked him up and let his nephew mess his hair up.

Naruto now having lost his buddy scanned the restaurant impressed with the layout. He turned his head and looked outside and his eyes widened and his mouth dropped.

"Dobe?" Sasuke asked noticing the blondes sudden change in feature follow the blondes line of sight and immediately tightened his face up.

Naruto whistled, "Damn she is gorgeous! That is easily the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on." Naruto said eyeing the woman up and down nodding to himself.

Kisame brought his knuckle up to his mouth and bit down hoping the pain would keep him from causing a scene with a fit of laughter.

Sasuke began to hit himself in the head with his palm.

Itachi just smirked. "Really? But is she more beautiful than Sasuke?"

"I would say Sasuke is handsome and has a face carved but angels... But she is a beautiful woman... She is what I would imagine Sasuke looking like as a woman!"

"Dobe... Please stop."

"Why?"

"Don't make me beg."

"Your threatened by her?"

"Hardly. She's married and has two children."

"How do you know that?"

Kisame began to snicker and snort behind his fist.

"What's so funny?" Naruto asked confused noticing a brown haired man begging to escort her inside.

"Dude, that's Mrs. Uchiha." Kisame answered with his eyebrows raised waiting for the blonde to pick up the very crucial detail.

Naruto did pick it up and turned his head sharply between the two brothers who had a slight grimace on their faces.

"She's still hot." Naruto answered unashamed.

Sasuke's mother and father walked in and stood before their family until both sets of eyes landed on Naruto...

"Hello... My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I am Sasuke's boyfriend." Naruto decided honesty was the best policy.

"This is my father Fugaku and my mother Mikoto..." Sasuke said gesturing to each of his parents. He stepped forward and kissed his mother on the cheek and shook his fathers hand.

"Mr. Uchiha, your table is ready." The hostess informed.

Sasuke nodded and reached for Naruto... Who was offering his arm to his mother. She smiled and let go of her husband and allowed Naruto to escort her to the table.

"I would love to know all about the things Sasuke is too proud to admit." Naruto said charmingly causing Sasuke's mother to giggle. Sasuke blinked and realized this is why you avoid meeting the parents.

"Charming young man you have there my son." Fugaku commented and followed his wife.

While sitting at the table Mikoto was noticeably enjoying Naruto's charms and even indulged him in some of Sasuke's most embarrassing childhood moments... Sasuke handed the papers over to his father who looked them over.

"Sasuke used to love playing with a stuffed dinosaur that would cause destruction to the city and Sasuke was the ninja hero and would prevent the dinosaur from killing any more citizens. It was adorable." She reminisced.

Naruto's cheeks were bright red from smiling so much. Sasuke's mother was so easy to fall in love with. If he and Sasuke broke up he was going to stay in contact with her. She was amazing.

Sasuke for his part listened and watched Naruto charm his mother immensely and Sasuke did the same with his father who was impressed with Sasuke's proposal.

"How is it you obtained this information?"

"Naruto pulled a few strings for me..." Sasuke said slowly smiling.

"I like him already." Fugaku said while flipping through a few more papers. Sasuke's heart skipped a beat slightly. Sasuke very subtly reached into his bag and pulled out the bracelet he had bought for his mother and slid it into Naruto's lap who looked down in time to see Sasuke point in his mothers direction. Naruto looked up and met Sasuke's gaze who looked happy. The server brought them their wine finally, that Sasuke had meticulously picked and scrutinized the list a little less than happy with the selection. The owner had ran out to retrieve a bottle Sasuke preferred.

Everyone sipped at the wine and Naruto handed the box to Mikoto.

"For you... From Sasuke-" a pinch to his leg "and I"

She blushed and opened the box picking up the bracelet.

"It's beautiful." She commented. She started to put the bracelet on but Naruto took it and put it on her. She smiled and adjusted her wrist admiring the bracelet from different angles.

"Pretty." Hiruzen said while pointing to the bracelet.

"Why don't you ever buy me nice bracelets? I'm hurt..." Kisame said faking a hurt expression.

"I'm sure we can fix that." Naruto replied seriously causing laughter to spill out from the strong man.

"Mother, just out of curiosity, what will you do with all the jewelry we give you?" Itachi asked and swirled his wine.

"I'm waiting for one of my sons to have a daughter... Sasuke had Hiruzen and now I suppose its your turn."

Itachi opened his mouth to point out he and Sasuke we different but Mikoto beat him to the punch line- "adoption is always an acceptable option. So is a surrogate mother."

Itachi closed his mouth and tightened his jaw.

"You'd make a good father. Hiruzen adores you." Naruto chimed in.

Kisame chest rumbled with laughter, "he's terrified of shopping in the kids department. All the mothers."

"I'm more than certain Sasuke wouldn't be heartbroken doing the shopping for any of your children." Naruto said seriously... And there was truth behind it.

Sasuke pursed his lips and nodded. He would admit it. Besides online shopping was a breeze.

"Find. Kisame and I will adopt a child if Sasuke agrees to handle all things shopping." Itachi said annoyed.

"Wait-what?" Kisame said turning quickly.

Itachi sipped his wine casually and looked at Kisame innocently. "I have no desire to be a single father. So that means we will be getting married as well. You will be in charge of "playing and obscene noises" and I will hold her and do her hair." Itachi spoke as if he were making a contract.

"So... Does this make you engaged." Sasuke asked.

"Nope. Not until I put a ring on it." Kisame wagged his eyebrows and Itachi narrowed his eyes.

Naruto gave an airy laugh as their food was placed in front of him. They enjoyed the wine and the food, but Naruto was happy that he didn't miraculously mess up and make a bad impression on Sasuke's parents. That would've been terrible.

After eating to the point of obtaining a food coma, they all exited the busy restaurant and walked down the street to meet their drivers at a less traffic heavy area. Sasuke walked alongside his parents while Naruto and Kisame swung Hiruzen by the arms and tried to get zhiruzen to kick Itachi in the butt while doing so.

"What do you think of him?" Sasuke asked his parents quietly and nervously.

"Does he make you happy?" His father asked.

"Yes." Sasuke replied with a smile.

"Then we love him." Mikoto answered and kissed her youngest son on the cheek.

"All we want for our sons is to be happy Sasuke. Remember that. Also, I will start the paperwork for you to acquire your own business. I think you're ready." Fugaku said with the smallest of smiles.

Sasuke's smile grew and he stopped and hugged his father for the first time since he was a child before pulling away and straightening back up and extending his hand. Fugakus look of surprise wore off and he pulled his youngest son in for a hug that was reciprocated.

"I'm proud of you son." He said and ruffled up his hair and Sasuke walked beside HS parents until they reached the cars. Naruto big his mother a very over-dramatic good-bye and it sounded as if though he was from Shakespeare's time as his mothers laughter colored the dark street. Sasuke slid in the car next to Naruto and pulled him in for a kiss.

"What was that for? I mean, I know I'm irresistible... Naruto said with a cocky smile.

"I'm happy and wanted to kiss my boyfriend who my parents adore because my father is going to buy out Jinchuriki for me." Sasuke said with a huge grin.

"Seriously?!" Naruto said on the verge of exploding like a firework.

Sasuke nodded.

Naruto wrapped his arms around Sasuke's neck and kissed him hard. He pulled away.

"I'm so happy for you." Naruto said smiling.

"I'm happy for us." Sasuke said and rested his forehead against a tan one.

Itachi rested his head on Kisames chest listening to his heart beat...

"You better not go cheap on the engagement ring or I'll shove it down your throat." Itachi said following it with a sigh.

Kisame rubbed Itachi's arms and laughed. He already had the ring... Itachi just hadn't found it yet.

And. It wasn't cheap.

Karin was out currently harassing an employee of Sasuke's trying to get him to spill the details of the Christmas party.

"Just give them to me."

"Ma'am I don't think they want you attending. It's a company party." The man tried reasoning with her.

You can reason with insanity.

"Give me the address NOW!" She screamed and swung at the man. She continued to hit and beat on the man until his phone hit the ground and she snatched it.

The man got up and ran for it-"your crazy!" He shouted before turning the corner.

She pursed her lips and rolled her eyes flipping through his phone and opening the mans planner finding all the details for the party and dropped the phone in her purse and walked away.

She pulled her breasts up from the dress making them seem bigger and fluffed her hair and smacked her lips.

"Sasuke... Why do you insist of playing hard to get?" She signed mournfully and walked the streets back to her flat.
